If you contract Covid from someone, should you be able to sue them?

About the link posted by the Blue Anon who doesn't want people to respond to them (a really bad feature, in my opinion):

First off, it states:
"To be clear, the science supports using masks, with recent studies suggesting that they could save lives in different ways: research shows that they cut down the chances of both transmitting and catching the coronavirus, and some studies hint that masks might reduce the severity of infection if people do contract the disease."

Secondly, it talks about two experiments.

1. Being run in Guinea-Bissau since October, since when there have been a grand total of 100 new cases in a country of nearly 2 million. The experiment is being run on 40,000 people (half of which were given masks). There's no way that's going to be able to extract signal from the noise, one family of mask-owners catching it amongst themselves could flip the results.

2. One run in Denmark, which hasn't been published yet, which has led right-wing sites like the Blaze to speculated endlessly about how masks don't work... https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817

Unfortunately, for them, the experiment doesn't even address the main claimed advantage of wearing masks ("source control"whether masks make you less likely to infect other people), nearly a quarter of participants dropped out before the end, and the results indicate that they are more likely to protect the user, than not (the 95% CIs are compatible with a 46% reduction to a 23% increase in infection).

Depends
m. If for example you tested positive for covid and you go to your friends house when your sick and he or she gets sick then yes you should be able to Sue them if your need to go to the hospital if you have a mild case which is like a bad cold no, I think a good punch on the arm works.

if you and sure you don’t have covid not showing any symptoms and go to your friends house and it turns out you do have covid then no you don’t have the right to Sue them. Again a good punch on the arm works.

I think intent matters here it would be the same situation if you have the flue and and someone dies or any other disease if you intentionally spread it you should be sued if you were unintentionally spreading it you should not be sued

really you want to waste more tax payer money on that.. So stupid. Masks have not been shown to have any effect in transmission of the disease.

Yes. Bankrupt inbred states even more.

Right wingers are the ultimate lemmings.
